DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT:
"One of the most special aspects of this script — and what took me nearly five years and God-knows-how-many rewrites to find the key — is that there’s a hopeful ending, one that I believe will have everyone not only cheering for Samuel, but also leaving the theaters and re-entering their own worlds with an upbeat, positive outlook despite the heavy subject matter."
